How to install Snaps

[sangorys]

Hello,


I want to install an application which is available with Snaps.


How can we install Snaps on LMDE 2 ?

I tried without success :

Code: Select all

sudo apt install snapcraft
sudo apt install snapd
sudo apt install snaps

I guess I have to build it from source ? But I am lost.


I hope someone can help me here ?


thank you in advance ç.)

Snap isn't yet avaliable for Debian Jessie (LMDE2 base).

Look here:

sudo snap install *insert app name*
snap find (to find snap packages)
snap run *insert app name*
snap list (to list installed snaps)

Since Snaps is not yet available for Debian stable, perhaps your application might be installed another way? Might be easier if we knew what it was. There also might be another program with the same function.

Due to the huge software library available for Debian, I would be surprise if this app can't be install simply with the normal repo.

According to their website, not for stable (Jessie). Testing and SID only.

How can you guess the website of the app the OP wants to install, since he didn't name this app?

Guess I didn't make myself clear. I meant Snaps, not that particular app. You're right of course, that app or something similar is very likely to be in the repos.

Ok understood. Now we are on the same page.
